What the stitch braids are
STICH BRAIDS STYLE — two stitch braids straight to the back — produces neat, parallel braids that follow the scalp and lay down the center or natural fall of the head. The service includes braiding hair to standardize thickness and texture; color accents or multi-color blends are available for an extra charge.
How the finished look sits depends on your hair’s natural length, density and how scalp tension is tolerated; tighter braids appear sleeker but need careful aftercare. Chicago’s four-season climate can influence hold — humid summers and cold winters change maintenance choices — so nightly protection and routine care shape longevity.
What to bring and prepare
Before arrival your hair must be clean, blow-dried, product-free and fully detangled; this standard helps the braids set cleanly and keeps the appointment on schedule. If additional detangling is required at the salon an extra service fee may apply. Braiding hair is included with the service for consistency and quality.
We provide a 15-minute grace period; appointments cannot be held beyond that time. No extra guests are allowed to maintain a calm, professional environment. Many clients in Marquette Park and nearby Southwest Side neighborhoods schedule around work, school or childcare, so plan travel using Marquette Road, Pulaski Road or Cicero Avenue where helpful.
Session length and pricing
The service is priced at $65 with a scheduled duration of 60 minutes. Braiding hair is included to ensure consistent thickness and finish. Color customization — highlight accents or multi-color blends — is available but may incur additional charges depending on complexity. The remaining balance is due at the appointment.
Adding highlights or multi-color blends increases handling and can affect price and sometimes timing. During booking or at consultation we review color intentions and confirm any extra charges so you can decide before the appointment and have clear expectations for the finished look.
